Vegan Cream Cheese Swirl Brownies Recipes

CREAM CHEESE BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper. In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, combine arrowroot starch and cold water. Stir to combine and set aside.
• In a medium bowl, combine applesauce, almond butter, and maple syrup. Whisk to combine. Add the arrowroot slurry and vanilla extract. Stir to combine.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the organic cane sugar, almond flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
• Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and gently fold them in until evenly combined.
• Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and smooth into an even layer with a spatula.
• In a small bowl, stir together cream cheese swirl ingredients. Drop tablespoons of cream cheese mixture on top of brownie batter. Using a skewer, chopstick, or knife, draw it through the batter in straight horizontal lines followed by vertical lines.
• Bake for 38-42 minutes or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean. Loosely tent with foil at the 25 minute mark to avoid browning the cream cheese swirls.
• Allow brownies to cool in pan completely on wire rack before removing from pan and slicing into squares.
• Store cream cheese brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days.

CREAM CHEESE SWIRL BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a 9×9 or 8×8 baking pan (or line with parchment for easy removal), set aside.
• 2. In a medium sauce pan over medium heat melt together butter and chocolate. Stir frequently until fully melted and combined. Remove from heat to cool for 10-15 minutes (you can transfer to fridge for 5 minutes to speed up process).
• 3. Once the chocolate butter mixture has cooled, add in the 3/4 cup of granulated sugar, stirring until dissolved. Add in eggs, whisking in one at a time until smooth. Stir in vanilla extract and milk or creamer.
• 4. Sift in flour, cocoa and salt to avoid lumps in batter. Use spatula to gently combine until batter is smooth. Set sauce pan aside while you make your cream cheese layer.
• 5. Make the cream cheese layer: In a medium bowl using electric mixer or paddle attachment of stand mixer, beat together softened cream cheese until fluffy. Add in egg yolk and sugar beating again until fully combined. Set aside.
• 6. Transfer brownie batter to prepared baking pan, reserving 1/3 cup of batter.
• 7. Next drop in spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture on top of the brownie batter. See picture in post. Cover with the remaining brownie batter, then use butter knife to gently create swirls, moving the knife in a zigzag motion.
• 8. Bake brownies for 25-35 minutes, until inserted toothpick into center of pan comes out with little to no crumbs. If brownies start to crack after 22 minutes but middle is not done, cover pan with foil and bake for another 5-10 minutes. Make sure your brownies aren't over-baked! Once brownies have finished baking, allow to cool in pan at room temperature for one hour, before transferring to fridge to cool for an additional 2-4 hours.
• 9. Gently remove brownies from pan once chilled, placing on cutting mat. Use large sharp knife to cut the brownies into 16 squares. Brownies will be deliciously fudgy since they've chilled. Store leftovers in container in fridge, up to 1 week. Enjoy!
